Episode 80 - Bills hang on to defeat Bengals

Episode 20,   Sep 22, 2019, 12:00 PM

Buffalo won another gritty game in their 2019 campaign, edging out the win-less Cincinnati Bengals 21 - 17 after losing their two touchdown lead in the beginning of the fourth quarter. While looking at the game from a first glance, these games go such a long way.
Not every game is easy in the NFL, and it shows a team's character, as eluded to by Sean McDermott in his post-game press conference. It's important to be challenged, and twice in three games, Buffalo has won truly challenging games. However, their next game will undoubtedly be the most challenging yet.
Josh Allen, and Bengals QB Andy Dalton nearly mirrored each other statistically. It was a positive day for Allen, aside from making a bad interception, throwing across his body. 
Buffalo dominated in the rushing game as well, despite being without rookie stud Devin Singletary. The Bills' rushing attack was firmly led by Frank Gore, who tacked on 76 yards and a touchdown to his legendary career. Dawson Knox also led receivers, with 67 yards receiving, and his first touchdown in his NFL career.
Buffalo has an intriguing, and much anticipated game against the also 3-0 New England Patriots this Sunday. Another indicator of how good this team can be. The two most competitive units in the AFC East typically always have exciting games, but the Bills' will have to be at their absolute best if they are to finally overcome the ever dangerous Patriots.
